“Some people say they're afraid about dying. Noooo ... it's the fear of living totally in the moment, living fully engaged, and independent at the same time. That's the real fear.”

“The thing is to live fully, all the time knowing that it could be your last breath. That takes some powerful faith.”

“What you experience is your reality, for the time being anyway. It's a mind-blower because, at a certain level of awareness, that's not real either.”

“Some people are afraid of being alone – really alone. We need this experience in order to realize that we really are totally alone. How could that be, since we have all these characters. Look at all those characters we’re carrying around within us. An actual traveling circus.”

“Everyone has their own fears and their own way of dealing with those fears. Don’t get mixed up in someone else’s fears – deal with your own fears.”

“There really is only one fear. It’s just broken down into many little fears. The one fear is that we can’t handle our fears. That’s why we have them, to go through them.”

“Remember, your history is a total mystery. Sometimes it seems that a lot is happening in a short period of time – and, sometimes it seems that nothing is happening for a long period of time – it’s the same thing.”
